Voriconazole is an azole antifungal agent used to treat yeast and fungal infections

Voriconazole is used to treat fungal infections of the lungs that spread into the blood stream (invasive aspergillosis)

Voriconazole is also used for fungal infections of the mouth and, food pipe and throat that results in patching of the skin (esophageal candidiasis)

Voriconazole is used for yeast infections of the skin, stomach, kidney, bladder, and wounds

Voriconazole is used to treat fungal infection due to Candida sp in non-neutropenic patients (patients without abnormally low white blood cell count), in serious fluconazole-resistant fungal infections due to Candida sp (including C. krusei) and in serious fungal infections caused by Scedosporium sp. or Fusarium sp. (two different species of fungi). It may also be used in life threatening and severe advancing fungal infections

Mechanism of Action

Voriconazole acts mainly by preventing the growth of fungi

It interacts with chemicals (cytochrome P-450) inside the fungus and prevents the synthesis of an essential component of fungal cell membrane (ergosterol); this results in increased cellular permeability causing leakage of cellular contents from fungal cell, ultimately preventing fungal growth
